This is how long I have been taking care of this customer. Found this in his old remote box on a shelf in the family room. Let this be a lesson to you younger guys. Relationships with your clients are important. This client is a mentor and friend now.

Very successful.


I am sure he has spent well over 2 million with my company. We are on the final days of his latest 4K upgrades. Second Zektor Pixel install(love it) is in the books with fantastic results. New Sony 4K (855) projector in the Theater.

The Masters look so over the top!

Take very good care of your clients, their families, and friends!

That Fujitsu remote looks a bit like the one for the commercial plasma TV I installed for someone in 2003- they still have the TV and it still looks great, even though we aren't using HDMI- I doubt the modules are available, even used. They have sent a good amount of business my way, too.

I don't like the thought of doing business as a string of one night stands.

Sadly I've used both of those remotes when the product was new.

Would that RCA be about 1996?

Never used one of those RCA remotes.

But I did sell a lot of URC SL9000's, which weren't a hell of a lot better.....LOL

My Dad still uses that. He still has the original RCA receiver that I helped him put in about 1995. I was working at CC in the warehouse at the time and somehow managed to get my manager to sell me the kit at employee discount. As he did it, I knew it was probably a mistake, and loaded it as quick as I could and took off for my Dad’s house 4 hours away. When the dish and one receiver was selling for $800 and no one could keep them in stock, I made off with it for $500.


Oh, and the phone line has been disconnected since the Tyson fight when he got out of prison. I went there to watch the fight, and after he bought it, he disconnected the phone line because someone told him you could get free on demand that way. He was curious to see if it would work. Turned out the guy that told him that racked up $500 in charges then his receiver shut off until he plugged the phone back in. LOL

It just looks a lot like the remotes that came with Proscan RPTVs when I was in sales back in the day.

Does anyone have a set of RTI, URC, or Harmony codes for these?
